In the late hours of Motzei Shabbos, multiple Chaverim branches began receiving a flood of calls for assistance with flat tires on the ramp from the George Washington Bridge to the Harlem River Drive. The calls began around 11:30 pm on Motzei Shabbos and continued throughout the night.
Chaverim members from Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Monsey, and Bergen County responded to the emergency, with around 25 members showing up to help. Upon arrival, they found themselves facing a daunting task: over 50 cars with blown tires.
Thankfully, Brooklyn Chaverim and Monsey Chaverim came prepared with multiple spare tires, allowing them to quickly get to work replacing the damaged tires.
In a remarkable display of efficiency, Chaverim was able to reach out to the Department of Transportation (DOT), who responded within a half hour of receiving the call. The DOT’s quick response helped to mitigate the situation and ensure the safety of all those involved.

What was the cause for so many blowouts?
Does anyone know what caused these numerous blowouts?
Shame none of the rabid antisemites were among those with tire trouble .
But no need to worry. Our beloved democrat Governor and democrat City Council will use the surplus of money they steal from the so-called congestion pricing scam to repair our bridges and roads.
Looks like it was pouring rain. Shkoyach
E120 , Yes it was, but what’s your point? That’s not why tire is bust .
Obviously there was some person who decided to put something down on the road to pop tires. Not sure why it’s not terrorism!
A flat is not a blowout. A blowout is when the sidewall of the tire suddenly rips and is not nearly as common as flat tires.
Was caused by several “generous” sized pot-holes, NYC style.
Sorry , the money is needed to feed the migrants. there is no money to maintain the roads, גנבים ממש.
